Feedback on 1440p build? $3000 budget

[BEARtheGREAT]

I'm in the process of building a new computer, and I wanted to have some feedback on my build before I go out and buy everything. For this computer, I was looking for a computer that can run games like Battlefield 4, Skyrim, and other graphically intense games on High/Ultra @ 1440p. I was also looking to overclock the CPU very high, as I heard the 4790K can get very close to 5.0GHz. This computer is going to be mainly used for gaming, as well as some video editing, and streaming on Twitch.tv. My intention for the dual SSD was to put them in RAID 0. My budget for this computer was $3000, and I know I went a little bit over budget, but I don't mind it. If you could change anything, feel free to change and let me know why you changed it!

not all cpus will get 5.0 Ghz its not a guarantee.
those GPus may struggle with only 3gb of ram if you're running lots of mods on skyrim. Kind of like having a really fast car but with a small fuel tank could be beaten by a slower car over distance with a much bigger fuel tank.
IF you can wait just a little bit wait for the 6GB cards to come out.

You'd probs not need that much power i think 800W would suffice. But its your choice.

I prefer corsair AIO but as long as you keep an eye on temps i think it would only make a few degrees either way.

I have the same ssd just in smaller cap, and love it, raiding will allow for a faster bigger drive for less cash so thats cool just maybe for your storage drive look at something like the 4tb SSHD by seagate its only a bit more i believe.

Either way you will have an awesome rig

Why not get a single 1TB ssd instead of two 500GB ones? You save money and get the same amount of storage but along with a longer lifespan.

Better off with 290x in crossfire as the extra vram will help as new games are starting to use a crap ton of vram(Watch Dogs being a prime example). Plus in Xfire a 290x scales better than a 780ti. So really same/slightly better performance but much cheaper. Can easily get a top of the line air cooled 290x that performs just as good on temps and noise as the 780ti.

I have that case and for anything more than a single card i would really recommend a different one. The window in the case sort of defeats the purpose as noise will get through it. It is still quiet but the Arc Midi R2 is a much better canidate, also that case can fit a H220 much easier than the R4.

Lastly that psu... Might be better off with a better brand such as Seasonic or Corsair(most popular ones but for a good reason).

Also for the price of this build you really should be watercooling if you are confident enough to try it.

Its fine to say that but thats driver and brand specific but i do agree on the VRAM

I doubt they will come out with 6GB 780 Ti's as that would render Titans and Titan Blacks useless, Nvidia would be shooting themselves in the foot.

Even one of the major OCUK guys who works with vendors BTW said the same thing, Would be a very very bad business move.

thats true, could wait for the 8XX cards, which i sure saw rumours for 8GB cards.
